“Diary Of A Wimpy Kid: The Getaway” Coming Soon To Disney+

Last summer, it was revealed that 20th Century Studios was developing a new “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid” animated film based on the 12th book in the series, “The Getaway’ book.

“The Getaway” tells the story of Greg Heffley and his family, who are getting out of town. With the cold weather setting in and the stress of the Christmas holiday approaching, the Heffleys decide to escape to a tropical island resort for some much-needed rest and relaxation. A few days in paradise should do wonders for Greg and his frazzled family. But the Heffleys soon discover that paradise isn’t everything it’s cracked up to be. Sun-poisoning, stomach troubles and venomous creatures all threaten to ruin the family’s vacation.

During a recent episode of the Today Show, Jeff Kinney, who is the creator of the book series and also an executive producer on the films, appeared in an interview to promote his books.  It was revealed that the new animated film will be coming to Disney+ later this year in time for the holidays.

No other details on the upcoming animated film have been revealed yet, but expect more details to be revealed later this year, likely at the D23: Ultimate Fan Event in August. 

While we wait for the new film, the previous four animated “Diary Of A Wimpy Kid” movies, along with the live-action versions of these books, are available to stream on Disney+.
